Do you eat leftovers?
« on: May 02, 2016, 11:24:02 am »
I have found that eating leftovers is not only time efficient but also it saves money.

I certainly do.  I find that some leftovers are as good as when freshly made.  For example, I like meat loaf sandwiches the next day.  Very good on occasion.  Some foods also do better after they sit and the flavors somewhat "marinate."  Like you said, it's also thrifty.

Yes, especially when it's delicious. I even save leftover food that didn't turn out so well in case someone wants to doctored it up to make a whole new meal...If it isn't eaten within 2 days, it's thrown out. There's no reason for food to take up space, when no one is going to eat it.

I love to eat leftovers. When I cook, I usually make extra just for that purpose. It's easy to carry to work and put in the microwave. Or if I;m late getting home I can put it in the microwave for a quick meal. But I like using crock pots because that it a convient way to cook and have leftovers.

Yes, some of our very best meals are leftover meals. There are a lot of foods like spaghetti and pot roast that seem to taste better the second and third times around, don't you think?

Yes I do. Food is getting too expensive not to.

Yes.  If I have them I sure do.  Sometimes I share with the dogs or cats.

Yes.   I don't like to waste food.
Some dishes are even better as leftovers, like chili or spagetti... when the flavors get to marinade.

I use to eat leftovers for the same reasons you mentioned.  I don't anymore for different reasons.  I now eat to give my body the nutrients it needs.  After food is cook, it loses it's nutrients with time.  Health issues have me looking at a ton of things differently.

Yes, I eat leftovers, I try not to throw away or waste food. Sometimes, depending on what it is, I can add something like sewed tomatoes and have a new dish or some type of salad.

I always cook extra for certain meals to take leftovers. It saves time and money.
